DEATH WISH WEEK: Death Wish 2 (1982)
Paul Kersey can’t catch a break. Seriously, in this sequel, he goes through the Trials of Job all over again. You think he went through some bad stuff in the first movie? Michael Winner is just getting started putting our vigilante hero through hell on earth. Paul has taken his daughter Jordan and moved to […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Werewolf in a Girl’s Dormitory (1961)
This entry was written by Bill Van Ryn, who is behind the amazing Groovy Doom and Drive-In Asylum. Bill knows more about movies than probably anyone I’ve ever met before and teaches me something new every time we talk. Did you ever wonder what it takes to be a member of law enforcement in a […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Haunts (1976)
This entry was written by Bill Van Ryn, who is behind the amazing Groovy Doom and Drive-In Asylum. Bill has always been a major inspiration and help when it comes to my love of film, as well as always being awake when I text him at 3 AM to discuss Paul Naschy. Haunts is one of […]
DEATH WISH WEEK: Death Wish (1974)
New York City in 1974 must have felt like the end of the world. Based on the 1972 novel by Brian Garfield, Death Wish was the answer. In fact, in many theaters, the audience stood up and cheered as Paul Kersey got his bloody revenge for the crims visited upon him and his family. The film […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Naked Massacre (1976)
Thanks to Jennifer Upton for contributing this review. An American living in London, she is a freelance writer for international publishers Story Terrace and others. In addition, she has a blog where she frequently writes about horror and sci-fi called Womanycom. Originally (and more appropriately) titled Born For Hell, Naked Massacre is an overlooked diamond in […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Metamorphosis (1990)
You know what I miss? Italian ripoffs of successful movies. They just don’t seem to happen anymore. Like this — obviously, it’s The Fly, but takes plenty of twists and turns. And oh yes — it’s directed by B&S About Movies favorite George Eastman! Gene LeBrock (Father Peter from La Casa 5/Beyond Darkness) plays Dr. Peter Houseman, […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: A Bell from Hell (1973)
What happens when a young man is released from an insane asylum and returns home? Well, he goes for revenge on his aunt and her three daughters, the ones who stole his insurance when they claimed he had gone crazy. This is another part of the Avco Embassy’s Nightmare Theater package syndicated for television in […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Scream Bloody Murder (1973)
As Matthew watches his father work on a tractor, he decides to turn it on and kill him with it, all at the cost of his own left hand. Yes, we’re not even at the credits yet and Scream Bloody Murder — the first motion picture to be called gore-nography! — is already insane. Matthew grows […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: I Eat Your Skin (1971, but really 1964)
The only reason anyone knows this movie is because of Jerry Gross. He bought it, paired it on a double feature with I Drink Your Blood and renamed it from Zombies to I Eat Your Skin and made this amazing trailer and double poster. These two movies have nothing in common. I Drink Your Skin is a certified […]
CHILLING CLASSICS MONTH: Medusa (1973)
In Greece, a stewardess is murdered by a masked maniac, with the authorities feeling like it can only be one of two people: a drunken American playboy (George Hamilton) and a murderous gangster (Cameron Mitchell). Yes, the Mill Creek Chilling Classics set really knows how to give you quite the mix of films! According to screenwriter […]
